Ninja Ice House

After the New Year's Eve without any surprises, a week has passed.

Years ago it was cold enough to make people shiver, but after the next year it cleared up quickly and the temperature rose rapidly.

During the New Year's Eve, and the good weather, people get out of the house, visit relatives and friends, and connect with each other.

The ninja world does not have the red tape of the previous life, but some principles are interlinked, nothing more than praying for gods and blessings.

The plan for a year is in spring, and the plan for a day is in the morning.

With a good start, it also lays a solid foundation for life in the next year.

For a big family like the Gusugi family, there are not many relatives who are equal, and most of them are still far away. My mother's family is a daimyo, and I stay in Miyagi, the Land of Fire, for most of the year, and I don't have many opportunities to go out. .As the powerful "relative" of the Gushan family, the Yaskawa family has contacts with the servant Togakure from time to time.

The two families are big families with a long history and a thriving population. There are so many people coming and going, Gu Shan Bu Shui didn't recognize many of them clearly, and he remembered few names.

It's not that Gu Shan Bu Shui is so arrogant that he despises family friends, but that there are too many people who spend their minds on a daily basis, and many people use different ways to brush their presence, just to make them familiar.

There are only so many top positions in the ninja world, and everyone wants them. Naturally, there will be some open and secret struggles. Under the circumstances that there is not much difference in ability and relationship, Gusugi Bumizu can only try to arrange for people who remember their names.

The true meaning of power and influence does not lie in high position and weight, but that people who are closer to those who really have the final say are more able to grab benefits and gain real power.

"It's obviously a vacation, but it's actually not very leisurely."

At the end of the day's work, I had dinner with Xianglin and Hongye, and had a conversation. Gushan Bushui left the mother and daughter to whisper, and came to the study alone, leaning lazily on the recliner, looking out the French window Where the starry sky and the sea meet, there are dots of light shining, which are the light swept by the searchlights of the passing ships in the distance.

Willow head on the moon, after dusk.

The vegetation coverage on Yuqi Island is very high, and there are lush gardens everywhere, and I don’t know which landscape is behind which there are men and women who have a tryst.

The faint light of the last Xuanyue cast on Gu Shan Bu Shui through the floor-to-ceiling windows, like a layer of translucent robes.

The record player in the room played melodious pure music one after another, and the characteristic ninja organ mixed with crisp percussion instruments filled the room with melodious notes.

Fortunately, the sound insulation here is good, and the inside and outside should not interfere with each other, so as not to affect the rest of the family.

"This piece of music is good, but it has a strange charm."

Things like music are indeed a common language for intelligent creatures. Fusugi Bumizu thinks it is good, and Otsutsuki Kaguya most likely agrees.

"Futile struggle, useless vanity, and vain conceit are intertwined, and the chant of profane emotions sums up the life of an ant very well."

"Are you laughing at me, or at yourself?"

This song titled "vain" seems to have a different charm when a person is bathing in the cold night.

"The emptiness of nothingness, the bewilderment of the future..."

Otsuki Kaguya asked strangely:

"You seem to be easily depressed at night. Is it because of the wrong record? I think the previous song "Chao Ming" was a bit too desolate, and it is even lower than the parting and regret of "Confession Night."

Gu Shan Bu Shui did not respond directly, but asked with a light smile:

"The Datongmu family is already a powerful life form that spans the universe, and the individual has almost stepped into the threshold of a long-lived species. Like me, a short-lived species with a theoretical lifespan of more than 100 years, is there a difference in the realization of self-worth? Yes Do you also like creation and art?"

After being silent for a while, Otsutsuki Kaguya replied unnaturally:

"I personally still like the miracle art created by life, but for a long time, the only thing left to us in the Otsutsuki family is life itself. The so-called cultural traditions are basically related to life and death. Complicated emotions are considered to be The burden, everything is to explore the end of life..."

After a pause, the goddess Uno continued to explain in a low tone:

"It's meaningless to live just to live. Even we are just trying to leave traces in the universe, prove our existence value, and find like-minded partners."

"Consciousness of the same kind, it's really a difficult standard to express."

"Now you also have many relatives and friends. You have a family and a house. Are you still dissatisfied?"

"I am very lucky in this life. I am more successful than my previous life. However, I am a human being in the two lives, and the combined life expectancy is not as good as that of Muye Village. I still can't see many things. Unconsciously, I have a sense of alienation from the ninja world. Some ideas and words can only be stuffed in my heart, and I can’t even find someone to say something private. Hongye can’t do it, Xianglin doesn’t understand, and my parents can’t reveal it. It's you, I'm afraid you can't understand."

"The empathy of outsiders?"

Otsuki Kaguya sneered and said,

"In this regard, we are similar, we are not natives of the ninja world."

"So, at the genetic level, I can be regarded as a native of the country, but in terms of psychological identity, I am more similar to you."

Gu Shan Bu Shui responded leisurely, just when the record was switched, and the obviously more soothing "Thinking Through Time and Space" fell into his ears, causing Otsutsuki Kaguya to stop chatting, moved his phantom to the window, and looked at the bright moon.

"You... homesick? Relatives and friends from the previous life..."

"Usually I don't think much about it, but now I miss it."

It's not like crossing the Naihe bridge, drinking Mengpo soup, not remembering the reincarnation of the previous life, how could the influence of the previous life disappear without a trace?

Even in the dream, it didn't involve much in the previous life, but Jingye, who couldn't sleep, was diligent in thinking, and it was easy to bring out the deepest memories in his heart, so that he would not forget, and always remember where he came from and where his roots were. .

"What about you? Do you still remember your hometown?"

Speaking of the origin of the Otsutsuki clan, the goddess Uno herself didn't know where to start. After a moment of hesitation, she answered seriously:

"Without the sacred tree that was born in the first place, the Datongmu people would have no hometown. Wandering in the boundless universe, perhaps they are also looking for a hometown that can make them feel at ease."

Seems to have remembered something amusing, Kaguya Otsuki chatted with a particularly high interest today.

"By the way, you are sure that you were really dead in your previous life. You may just be a native who inherited a projection from another world."

"Don't you know yet? Who on earth smashed the god Earthburst Star that sealed you into a big hole, so that you can come out of the prison from time to time to let the wind go?"

Curling his lips, Gu Shan Bu Shui sneered and said,

"I'm not a fool who doubts himself casually."

"Then... your current state is understandable. Human beings in two lifetimes, people who have been resurrected, or children who are too young, will encounter some plausible psychological obstacles when they enter the universe. Suffering death, always like to put everything about oneself on the scale and compare it with something."

Gusugi Bumizu recalled what he had done in the past few years, he did occasionally have this tendency, and even said that if something happened to him, he would give his body to Otsutsuki Kaguya.

"Maybe. However, I should still care more about my own life. I just feel that there are some things that are more important than my wealth and life."

Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged indifferently,

"If you can live, of course you don't want to die, but you can't tell, sometimes, it's better to die."

Suddenly realizing that the illusory alien in front of him doesn't seem to be living comfortably enough, Gu Shan Bu Shui suddenly asked:

"How is the arrangement for your resurrection? I think that you are likely to fail. The ninja world is no longer what you are familiar with thousands of years ago. The successor arranged by the Six Paths Immortal may be the key victory." Negative hand."

Even Otsutsuki Kaguya was not completely dead, he was free from disease and disaster, and the Sage of the Six Paths, who died of natural causes, is still affecting the direction of the ninja world.

"so what?"

Otsuki Kaguya said nonchalantly,

"As long as I don't want to, I won't lose. The power of Ten Tails Jinchuriki is far beyond your imagination, and it is not something the power of the ninja world can compete with."

If you can't beat it, Kaguya Otsuki has many ways to avoid it, even if you can't beat it, you can definitely escape, if you hide in the first ball space, no one in the ninja world will find it.

Even if Uchiha Zuosuke and Uzumaki Naruto inherit the power of the six realms in the future, awaken Yin Yang Dun, Otsutsuki Kaguya runs into the void of the universe with determination, and pulls a few asteroids to hit the ninja world from time to time, the seventh class can still fly Is it impossible to chase after space?

Even thousands of years ago, Otsuki Yuyi and Otsuki Yucun must have been sure to seal their mother?

As long as Kaguya Otsutsuki made a move to retreat, the two sons may not be able to seal it together.

In the end, what prompted Otsuki Kaguya to stay in the ninja world all the time, and die against the savior who came into being?

Could it be that he was given the aura of lowering wisdom?

"Confused?"

As if aware of the suspicion in Gu Shan Bu Shui's heart, Otsuki Kaguya snorted coldly,

"Regardless of Yuyi and Hamura, they are still my children."

"Oh?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui was taken aback for a moment, and immediately came to his senses.

Whether it is Otsuki Yuromo or Otsuki Yumura, they and Otsuki Kaguya are not enemies in the general sense, but a mother-child relationship.

In Otsutsuki Kaguya's heart, the battle thousands of years ago was probably equivalent to the mother's lesson on the rebellious sons who were disobedient.

Rejoice in the complex emotions of the children growing up, but parting ways with their mothers.

The essence of the ninja world is not a contest between the great devil behind the scenes and the savior who came into being, but a family ethics drama.

"You... may have underestimated the nature of your descendants to kill relatives righteously. There has never been a shortage of decisive guys. Look at the Uchiha family, plotting to kill their own compatriots is more ruthless than outsiders."

Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, the two crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, spent more than 20 years abruptly killing almost all the people of the same clan.Guys who are not merciful to outsiders or to themselves are probably thinking too much if they expect them to show up at that time.

"Do you really need my help?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui pouted his mouth and said playfully,

"It's fine if it's too much trouble, and it's not a problem if you can do it with little effort."

"forget it."

Otsuki Kaguya refused,

"It's enough for you to look at it. It was very difficult for Yuyi to win back then. Now it is impossible to seal me again by relying on indirect push hands. In the same way, I am already prepared."

Swearing with self-satisfaction, Gusugi Kaguya was not good at pouring cold water on Otsutsuki Kaguya. After talking about how he would use the broken arm and Sharingan, he ended his aimless chat.

……

The country of Url is more than 1000 kilometers to the north, relatively close to the country of iron, and not far from the range of activities of Yunin's giant turtle island.

A fleet made of steel, equipped with many large and small naval guns, completely canceled the mast and sail, and powered by coal-fired steam turbines is cruising.

While traveling back and forth, many large and small reefs on the channel were also cleared to clear obstacles for the northward route.

Of course, Yun Nin didn't feel the need to show weakness at all.

Several times, the giant turtle island and the Gushan family's fleet have been very close, and they almost missed the gun.

In fact, several major countries on the southeast coast have no experience in agreeing on maritime borders.

These days, with the steady progress of the reconstruction of the country of the vortex, the sea area that was already a bit crowded has become more and more restricted.

Of course, apart from Yunin, the fleet of the Gushan family will restrain a little bit. The ships of several other small countries entered the nearby waters and were either detained or left. They could no longer be used at will like before.

Originally, Gushan Bushui still had the idea of ​​finding trouble for Wuren, but in the end, he didn't know whether it was a drastic change in the country of water, or the blood-successor bound ninja of Wuyin Village started to go crazy again. After such a long time, I haven't seen Mist Shinobi haunting this area.

They seem to realize that the fleet of the Gushan family is not easy to mess with, and everyone stays away, fearing that they will be killed as chickens and scare the eager monkeys.

Of course, it is also a good thing that the wealthy and powerful Gushan family scares the sneaky enemies. In this way, the pressure on the Gushan family's defenses is also reduced a lot.

From a perspective that everyone didn't pay attention to, two mysterious people wearing red cloud imperial robes with a black background stepped on the waves like walking on flat ground, watching their direction, heading towards the kingdom of water.

"Itachi, when you get there, listen to me and don't do unnecessary things. Most people don't want to go back to a ghostly place like the Water Country.

"clear."

Along the way, Uchiha Itachi, who has been told several taboos by Loquat Juzo, is taciturn and rarely talks about his private affairs. The importance is getting higher and higher.

This time, the mission of the two is to go to the country of water to investigate the situation of the six-tailed rhinoceros and three-tailed Isota. If it goes well, they can also directly destroy and capture the tailed beast or Jinchuriki.
